Actually quite gutted. Was looking forward to a big crowd. Makes me wonder if we will sell even 25k for Wembley.

So many have walked away.

He did.

It was to put salt in the coffee and sugar in the sausage sandwich.

There might be a spike over the weekend, I'd imagine quite a lot of people prefer to buy a paper ticket in person than the DIY online method.

There will be over 15k but that is still disappointing in the scheme of things.

We are literally a game away from Wembley.

It does prove the bad feeling amongst the fan base. I share the apathy but three years ago would have been a sell out , two years ago 30k and now lucky to make 20k
I hope Fisher and Seppala are delighted with what they have done !!!!

Because the warm beer is expensive.

I've been married too many years now. So I prefer the DIY online method myself.

Socks are the happening thing, man.

Even when I was making love to my missus and she was moaning that I couldn't perform anymore, I told her to put a sock in it.

A win tomorrow would help.

I do think a lot of fans are resigned to us losing unfortunately. Put a few off and them also there are the 23 NOPM people too.

I went off on one the other way so for balance, if people aren't interested, they aren't interested.

You can pay on the gate I believe so there will probably be a good walk up and massive queues and them same people moaning about organisation.

I paid on the gate against Brighton and there were longish queues. Can see people turning up 5 minutes before and kicking off.

Quick question. What the hell is that ticketfast thingy? Is that the 'print at home' option?

I've not bought online before (having either had a season ticket, or relied on organised mates, or simply walked up), but I have brought my cushion because I hear the seats on the bandwagon are a bit firm.

Yeah, they email you the tickets in a PDF and you print it off.

Hoping for a massive walk up, leading to a delayed ko as won't be able to get there for currently until start of the second half, be really disappointed if its only 15,000

True but people weren't that interested before the Crewe game and still turned up in numbers.

I had a bloke stand and argue with me for about 5 minutes I was in his seat. He was adamant I was in his seat and was going to get the stewards. Until he realised he was 3 blocks out.

the blocks are numbered before you walk out of the concourse.

I did it at the start of the season few years back, the thing is, the seat I was in I'd been in for 2 seasons!

Yeah, for the final of a tin-pot competition that a club the size of CCFC shouldn't even be eligible for (as senior sides of top 2 division clubs do not enter).

A tin-pot trophy where our previous game against Wycombe (I was there) attracted 912 people. Other games in the competition were in the 300-350 attendance zone. Our previous home gates for the Checkatrade this season were:
West Ham 2091
Northampton 2085
Crawley 1338
Brighton 2085
Total 7599
Average 1890 per game.

So if we get 17000 as some predict, that would be 9 x the average home gate so far for this competition.

For comparison (and yes, there's no question it's late on a Friday in sad Oucho's office), here are the comparable figures from 2012/13 when we last reached the semi:
Burton 5437
Sheff U 10162
Preston 12655
Total 28254
Average 9418 per game.

This was about 35% of the total who turned up to the ill-fated Crewe game. So in the context, 17k against Wycombe might not be too bad....

Expect the 7.30 KO to catch a lot of people out who are buying on the gate, cue some bloke ringing up the phone in after the game to rant about the kick off time when he's missed the first 15 mins

I can easily spot/relate to a quiet Friday afternoon's analysis in the office session. Good work sir
